The Trump admin wants to purge America of its undesirables. And for those Trump can’t deport, he hopes to simply hide away. On the new DOJ memo authorizing states to forcibly institutionalize more disabled Americans, rather than fund services that allow them to stay in their homes:

There are some uncomfortably eugenicist vibes in Trump’s latest disability policy, which authorizes states to institutionalize more Americans.

“They wanted to close up the strait again…as they've been doing for years,” Trump said Saturday. Of course Iran hasn't been closing the Strait of Hormuz "for years." Quite the contrary. The Strait is closed because of Trump's war. It's an indictment of his policy, and so he lies about the history.

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

I agree with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. I also think part of this has to be that DHS cannot be funded while Noem and Bovino are in charge. They are liars who have proven that they cannot be trusted in their current roles. @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

The absolute bare minimum demand here should be DHS funding won't pass while Kristi Noem is DHS secretary and Bovino's still around. Not just this or that mild statutory provision they're gonna break with impunity anyway. The problem is not insufficient laws. The problem is you have lawless people.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
